At Princes Hill Secondary College students are required to study a Language other than English (LOTE) through Year 7 and 8 with French or Italian being offered. Classes and Home Groups for Year 7 are allocated based on this preference. It is important that families give careful consideration as to which LOTE is preferred as this will directly influence class allocations and the preference submitted will be considered final for the purpose of class allocations. Options provided are:

• French (studied previously)
• French
• Italian (studied previously)
• Italian
• Don't mind

An additional family is a family or parent the student lives with some of the time, or who they have regular contact with in addition to the family at the nominated primary household (the address used for application). Some examples of additional families may include, but are not limited to, a biological parent and a step parent, a biological parent living alone, grandparents, a case worker, a family friend, a foster parent or other relative. Princes Hill Secondary College would like to know if the student has an additional family so contact and other information can be confirmed.

Princes Hill Secondary College acknowledges the importance of volunteers and recognises the valuable contribution that volunteers provide to our school community and the work that we do. Please review our Volunteers Policy to gain an understanding of how the school ensures that volunteers are suitable to work with children and are well-placed to make a positive contribution to our school community. We would like to understand your interest in volunteering to assist in a variety of activities, including:

• in our classrooms
• with sports days and events
• school camps
• working bees
• excursions and incursions
• school concerts

We are seeking your interest to be informed and included in opportunities to volunteer in these activities; it does not represent a commitment to any or all of those activities listed above.

Input provided should be for the student primary household; additional households will have an opportunity to specify volunteer preferences at a later point when we confirm enrolment details for the student. The nomination of Parent A and Parent B is relatively arbitrary but should align with what has been specified as part of the enrolment details provided to your primary school. Options are to select none, one or both of Parent A and Parent B.

Princes Hill offers a robust music program that covers instrumental music lessons, music theory lessons, ensembles, and classroom music. Please take the time to navigate our Music Department Home Page to see the various resources we have available and to find out more about our program. 

Due to the high demand for the program we have at times had to manage wait lists on some instruments. To assist with the enrolment process you are invited to express interest in your child engaging in the many aspects of our music program and additional enrolment information will be forwarded to those that express interest.

Any information or management plans that will assist us in management of medical/health issues such as anaphylaxis, asthma etc. Princes Hill Secondary College expects parents to provide medical management plans and medications for their child as required. See the school Medication Policy for information and forms.

Parents, carers, students and school staff are expected to provide the principal or a member of the school leadership team with relevant information and documentation about any family violence intervention orders or personal safety intervention orders, that may impact on students or staff or the way in which the school manages its operations.  

School staff manage information relating to intervention orders sensitively and in accordance with privacy laws. You may either upload current parenting plans or intervention orders as part of this enrolment process or provide to the school subsequently.

If you child is attending a Victorian Government Primary School, enrolment information will be automatically transferred from the primary school to Princes Hill Secondary College. Once received, we will be forwarding a copy of that information to families for checking and confirmation of accuracy.

However, if your child is coming from a non-Government Primary School or an international/interstate school, then you will be required to lodge the standard Department of Education Student Enrolment Form. Please download this form and fill in (electronically is preferable), and then save/scan the document in PDF format for upload.
